''Diaporthe toxica'' is a plant endophyte and occasionally a plant pathogen.〔Williamson et al. (1991) Formation of subcuticular coralloid hyphae by Phomopsis leptostromiformis. Plant Disease 75:1023-1026〕 ''D. toxica'' produces secondary metabolites that result in toxicoses of animals such as lupinosis of sheep. Mycotoxic lupinosis is a disease caused by lupin material that is infected with the fungus.〔Allen (2009) Australian Veterinary History Record〕 The fungus produces mycotoxins called phomopsins, which cause liver damage. Lupinosis has been incorrectly attributed to ''Diaporthe woodii'' but has now been shown to be a mycotoxicosis caused by the recently discovered (1994) teleomorphic fungus ''Diaporthe toxica''.〔Williamson et al. (1994) Diaporthe toxica sp. nov., The cause of lupinosis in sheep. Mycological Research, 98 (12): 1367〕 The discovery and naming of this new fungus concludes over a century of investigation into the cause of lupinosis since the first outbreak in Germany in 1872. == External links == * (Diaporthe toxica sp. nov., the cause of lupinosis in sheep ) * (Formation of Subcuticular Coralloid Hyphae by Phomopsis Leptostromiformis ) * (Index Fungorum ) * (USDA ARS Fungal Database ) * (Australian Veterinary History Record ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diaporthe toxica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
